@shedo82773 Thank you so much. That was so kind of you! It's me.. I'm blessed with a nice face but my body distracts from it. No one sees beyond the fact I'm overweight. But I've never been so excited to have something change in my life. -

Aginn10 replied to celticNgel's topic in The Gals' Room
I look forward to not breaking down when I look into the mirror. To not feel invisible in a crowded room. For a kind man to take the time to get to know me and how special I am before running away because I don't look good, dating and not being the bigger one in the couple, I look forward to showing the people, the haters, the guys I crushed on who used me, I look forward to having nothing to do with them now. I look forward to the rest of my life, because I can live it without shame. 09/14/17 - the day my life finally changed for the better. -
Do you think the Vitamin Patch works?

I would LOVE to hear that the patch works but seems unlikely? Anyone? -
What Pain Meds did you get while in hospital/surgery center
Aginn10 posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Hi again, my deal will be outpatient. I go in one week from today at 5am then I go home sometime towards the end of day. I am curious what pain meds were you given while at the facility? Where they via an IV? I'm having a hiatal hernia surgery at same time and I'm not very tough. I'm worried about them controlling the pain?! -
I HURT BAD. I cried for 2 days regretting my decision. I was given no pain meds in recovery was done out patient and felt like they were very rushed. I was extremely unhappy about the way they did their patients. However, it's been 5 full days today and I'm much better. I can walk almost upright, I can't bend down and pick things up still, but the pain is minimal. Still sore but pain and soreness are different. The first 2 days it felt as if I had been beaten with a baseball bat repeatedly. I also had asked the same question you did "how bad will it hurt" so I had prepared myself for pain as bad as a Csection and it was If not a tad worse. But do nothing the first several days except lay in bed and heal and you WILL feel better even if you doubt believe you will:)

Aginn10 replied to Ash_Bri85's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

September Sleevers- How are you feeling??
Aginn10 replied to Ash_Bri85's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
@shanicebarryI love your post. I am like you, I sorta self advanced a little, had a half of a scrambled egg on day 4. I wasn't able to drink those protein shakes and i felt weak and weird. Had half an egg today, am gonna try cream of wheat tomorrow. I chewed the egg until nothing was there to swallow. But I haven't had any problems or regrets from trying which I know is highly uncommon... but I wouldn't have tried had I thought or found out I couldn't.. -

Surgery yesterday -- what have I done?
Aginn10 replied to Aginn10's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I've gone thru a box of gas x & walked a lot. I've been able to differentiate gas from pain for the most part. That gas pain is nojoke! -

I agree. I thought it was absolutely ludicrous. Torture if you will. -

Aginn10 replied to Aginn10's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I'm feeling better today. Less down. Most of my pain is my back!! From all the weird positions you get in and trying to get up and down. Selling has gone down a little as has the redness. -
For those of you 6+mos out Carbonation
Aginn10 posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Have you had even a sip of something carbonated? I've heard both and I know you aren't "supposed" to but there's a lot you're not "supposed" to do but I hear of people doing it. I simply want to know if you have & did you regret it? -

Aginn10 replied to Aginn10's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
No I haven't called them. I feel like I'd be be one of those Whiney patients. But maybe I should. Yes I'm alternating Tylenol with Vicodin. I'm just shocked they rushed me out of that surgery center in a matter of hours. Didn't matter that I was crying and falling asleep when they made me walk laps. Didn't matter that I couldn't go to the restroom so they Used a catheter they want me out of there. It seems an overnight stay should be mandatory. My back hurts from laying on it. Everything hurts much more than I anticipated. I'm honestly afraid I'll never feel the same again. Did they tell any of you guys to drink a warm beverage each am to prepare the sleeve for solids? Why do I have to wait a week before having creamy protein shakes? I want to die. Since I can't die I just cry -

Aginn10 replied to Ash_Bri85's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Glad to see your posts. My pain is an 8 at least. It was yesterday the surgery.. I hurt so bad and I don't see how it will decrease. Fortunately I had bought a recliner a month ago. It's a lifesaver. Are you guys walking with pillows or were you? And how do you feel mentally?? -
Protein ideas/Protien Shake ideas? So gross!
Aginn10 posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Help!! Please tell me your ideas for choking down those protein shakes!! It's awful! Surgery tomorrow. Also I'll take any other protein ideas that you've found! -
The surgery place told me to wear a sundress tomorrow that I wouldn't want anything touching my waist. Did you guys experience that and if so how long before you felt comfortable in normal clothes?
